MANCHESTER MATTERS.
Sale OF the weisiger Boarding
House-Ofher Items.


At 4 p. NJ. yesterday Messrs. Samp-
son & Adamson, real estate auctioneers,
sold by public auction the house and
lot at the corner Of Ninth and Decatur
streets, commonly known as the +" Wei
siger Boarding House." Mr.. 81. j..
Nunnally became the purchaser at
1875. This property was formerly
owned by the late Jeremiah Hobbs aud
recently by Mr.. James r. Archer. The
lot fronts 1863 feet on Decatur street
and runs back 100 feet to an alley. The
house is quite q commodious one and
contains eleven rooms. 1t is at present
kept as clearinghouse by the Misses
Weisiger.
Mr.. Harry B. Owen met with quite a
painful accident Thursday afternoon.
While crossing the Allegheny trestle
at the basin, in Richmond, he slipped
and fell between two sills and had his
right wrist sprained, besides receiving
several small bruises.
The night school for children who
work at the cotton-factories, of which
QeF. uT. WHEY, VI Vic htu u-OstSOV
Methodist chapel, is at the head, ispro-
crossing well. There are fifty-eight
scholars on the roll.
Some of the friends of Mr.. George
Jones will give him complimentary
benefit at Cersley's Hall some time next
week. Mr.. Jones has figured on the
stage here on several occasions as a
burnt-cork artist and humorist, and has
thus afforded the public much amuse-
ment.
An agent Of the Old Dominion Elec-
tric-Light Company, which was granted
permission to establish electric light in
this city, is waiting upon the mer'
chants and citizens generally soliciting
subscribers. The company only has
permission to furnish light to private
consumers, but will furnish street-hghts
if the Council so desire.
Rev. John j. Clopton, rector OF the
Meade Memorial church, is anxious TO
add new Sunday school room to the
church, and he will soon take some
steps in this direction.

ConYicfs on the square.

The city of Richmond reioices that
the chain-gang is abolished. No longer
are miserable prisoners paraded througls
our streets with balls and chains on
their legs. The little work that they
did on the streets is now done, and
and more satisfactorily done, by honest
laborers.
AS the next measure of reform il
this line the convicts should be kept
from the Capitol and the Capitol
Square. They are doing work that
should be given to freemen they al
ford sight to strangers not compli-
mentary to us people, and they keep
up constant communication between
the outside world and the prison.
At the coming session of the General
Assembly bill abolishing this system
would pass almost unanimously.

Failure OF the River Appropriation

In the river-and-harbor bill, which
failed for want Of the Presidents sig
nature, there was an item appropriatine
800, 600 for James river.
A Washington Star reporter asked
Mr.. Blanchard, one of the conferrees
on the river and-harbor bill, what the
effect of the Presidents failure TO sigr
that bill would be upon the work IL
progress. He said that the money now
on hand would be enough to protec,
the work already done and to make
some little progress, but that nothing
like the progress that ought to be made
could be. He is, of course, much con
cerned at the failure of the bill.

The Trimming OF Trees.

No trees on the sidewalks can now be
trimmed except by persons authorized
by the city authorities. Some of these
authorized persons charge very high
prices for their work, and people ol
humble means consider that it is a
great hardship imposed upon them.
Either people should be allowed 10
trim the trees they have planted and
boxed and protected, or the City Coun-
ell should promptly adopt the recon-
mendation Of the City Engineer "that
the city take charge Of the planting and
trimming of trees on the streets"

THE SUIT OVER HIAMONDs.
The Jury Unable to Agree Other
Ctrcuft.Court Matters.

When the City Circuit Court met at
10 o'clock yesterday morning the trial
OF the case Of Samuel Beneditt Us. Isaac
Lichenstein for the recovery Of a set OF
diamond earrings and breastpin was
resumed. The evidence was concluded
and the case argued by Judge Edmund
Waddill, Jr., and Hon. William Writ
Henry for the plaintiff, and G. V. Mere
dith, Esq, for the defendant, and sub
mitted early in the afternoon. The
jury, after being out for some time, re-
turned, unable to agree upon verdict,
and was adjourned over until this
morning.
1t seems that the plaintiff, Samuel
Beneditt, in December, 1894, then a
mere boy, eloped with young lady
raised by the Lichtensteins, and they
were married in the State of North
Carolina. After the honeymoon was
over they soon found that the stern ne
cessities of life had to be met and a
support furnished, and that they could
not long survive, even in the southern
city of Wilmington, N. g., alone on
love. Accordingly, in order to get
home, the young brides jewelry had TO
be pawned. This was done, and the
sum of $50 was raised, and the two
young people in @ short time we're again
with their own people as man and wife.
Some time after reaching Richmond
Lichenstein, as is claimed by the plain
tiff. offered to furnish money with
which to redeem the jewels, they to be
retained until the money was returned.
The money was then furnished and the
diamonds forwarded from North Caro-
lima here, and have been in Lichen-
STEMS hands ever since. The plaintiff
now sues to recover the possession OF
the property, and tenders the amount
advanced by the defendant.
The defendant, Lichenstein, on the
other hand, claims that the jewels were
to be his upon his advancing the money,
and also claims to have advanced to
Mrs. Beneditt, since deceased, other
sums than the $50 paid to redeem the
property.
The young bride, whose diamonds
are in controversy, is not party to the
suit, her young married life having
been suddenly brought TO a close by
| the grim monster Death some nine
months since. The case seems to ex-
cite considerable interest among per-
sons in the locality Of the parties liti-
CANT.

that they conform 10 streets already laid
out in the city, anda similar supervision
should be exercised by the county
authorities where streets are opened
beyond the corporate limits. An ex-
animation Of mnny streets, particularly
in the western sections OF the city, viii
show such irregularities Of alignment
and widths Of streets as 10 produce con-
fusion, inconvenience, and mar the
beatty Of the city when these streets
are fully opened and improved.
II was suggested in a former report
that by keeping the streets free from
mud and dust the holes and ruts could
be more readily observed and repaired.
Now that the health department has an
increase of force and appropriation it is
to be hoped that the Board will be able
to attend to this. L concur in the re-
commendation of the Board OF Health
that the street-sprinkling should be
done by the city and under the control
Of the Board.
The demand for sewers has increased
so that in the past year more than dou-
BILE the number (measured in lineal
feeD OF any previous year were con-
structed. The gradual extension of
walling in Shockoe creek should be
carried ON until this stream shall have a
confined channel throughout its course
through the city. The branch sewers
discharging into this stream at Marshall
street, Oak street, and Brook avenue
demand this improvement at these
points, and repairs 10 other sections to-
wards the river now, and in time, as the
branch sewers leading through the
open rayines to the creek at many
points are extended, it will be necessary
to carry the improvement from Mar
shall street to Brook avenue.
The new market-house at Sixth and
Marshall streets was finished and occu-
pied in October last. Three neN
schoolhouses commenced in July will
be finished about May in ample time to
be fitted up for the next school ses-
sion.
PARKS AND TREBS.
Very little was done in the parks
during the year, owing to the linn
tied appropriations. 1t is to be re-
gretted that no provision is now made
for the improvements at Reservoir Park
and roads, and the other parks will
scarcely have more than repairs made
TO them the coming year.
recommend that the city take charge
of the planting and trimming Of trees
ON the streets. A few hundred
dollars expended under the direc-
ton Of skilled nurserymsn would
greatly improve the appearance of the
trees along the streets, save the pro-
performers the trouble and annoyance
Of looking after trees in front of their
property, and prevent the indiscrimi-
nate destruction and injury now being
done by unskilled persons.
1t is gratifying TO be able to testify
to the continued faithful and efficient
services of officers and employees Of the
department. Very respectfully,
W. Z. CUTsHAw, City Engineer.

A Tough Crowd.

A San Francisco dispatch says:
Clara Belle Mcdonald filed her an
swer to r. II. Mcdonald, Jr., COM
plant for divorce. Her denial of ma
tcrial infidelity and undue intimacy
with Seneca Swain are sweeping.
Her allegations are too indecent for
publication. Besides charging her
husband with contracting peculiar
disease aud communicating the same
to her, from which she suffered, she
says her husband asked her permis-
sion to install some woman as mistress
during her confinement. Later at
Napa Soda Springs he asked thar her
widowed sister be admitted to the
household for the same purpose. She
further alleges that her father-in-law,
DIR. Mcdonald, made her improper
proposals.
